Explanatory Note

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (the “Company) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Form 10-K/A”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 4, 2024 (the “Original Filing”), to restate and amend its previously-issued audited consolidated financial statements and related financial information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023.

 

Background

 

The Company has restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 due to the disbarment of its former independent registered public accounting firm,BF Borgers by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a result, the Company engaged a new independent auditor, Bush & Associates CPA, LLC to re-audit the affected prior-year financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). BF Borgers’s reports on AGSS’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the re-audit it was discovered that the company had an improper application of ASC 805 (Business Combinations) for its October 20, 2023 acquisition of TransportUS.

 

The restatement of the previously issued financial statements for 2022 and 2023 was due to the incorrect application of the acquisition of the Company. This was discovered by the auditors and the financial impact affected the income statement, balance sheet, shareholder’s equity and cash flow statements for both 2022 & 2023. In 2022 the prior financial statements reflected a combination of both the Company and TransportUS. The re-audit has changed that application and presents the Company separately from the acquisition. The prior stated revenue was $29,139,403 and now has been corrected to $24,947,401. The net income changed from a loss of $392,919 to a loss of $436,766. The loss per share changed from 0.0041 to 0.0046. Total Assets changed from $5,149,832 to $3,748,343, total liabilities changed from $6,760,412 to $5,745,791 and retained earnings changed from a deficit of $1,769,926 to $2,155,794.

 

For 2023, the re-audit discovered improper valuations of certain assets such as goodwill, deferred liability, an investment in subsidiary asset value and deferred liability of subsidiary.

 

The purchase agreement was to issue 3,000,000 common shares to Lawrence Garcia in exchange for the 1,000 shares held from TransportUS, Inc. The agreement called for the immediate issuance of 1,500,000 shares when the agreement was executed with the remaining 1,500,000 shares to be issued contingent on TransportUS Inc., renewing its current transportation contract with the Veterans Administration in Long Beach California. The award of the contract is expected to occur in 2025.

 

This agreement generated a Goodwill asset of $1,795,406 resulting from the $2,220,000 value of the shares issued for the purchase over the net book value of TransportUS, Inc. of $424,593 as of October 31, 2023. Due to the agreements two step issuance of the agreed 3,000,000 AGSS shares, the impact on the Balance Sheet of AGSS is an increase in common stock book value by $1,110,000, a deferred liability of $1,110,000, an investment in subsidiary asset value of $424,593 and Goodwill in the amount of $1,795,406, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The consolidated Balance Sheet presentation eliminates the investment in subsidiary asset reflected on the Balance Sheet of AGSS.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Deferred Liability in Subsidiary increased by $30,000 due to the decrease in share value as of that date. This created a loss from deferred liability of subsidiary equal to $30,000. The result is a balance of $1,140,000 in Deferred Liability Subsidiary as of December 31, 2023.Three million shares with a fair value of $2,220,000 was given for the purchase of TransportUS in which half of the shares withheld until TransportUS has secured a permanent contract that it had up for renewal. This created a deferred liability of $1,110,000. A loss of $30,000 on Deferred Liability for the Subsidiary.

 

These changes has changed the prior stated revenue from $24,350,618 to $20,969,727. The net income changed from $122,636 to $103,615. The earnings per share changed from 0.0013 to 0.0011. Total Assets changed from $6,067,966 to $7,835,340, total liabilities changed from $7,561,590 to $8,619,173 and retained earnings changed from a deficit of $1,653,470 to $2,052,179.

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Company History

 

Health Revenue Assurance Holding, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2010.

 

The Company intended to become a provider of revenue cycle services to a broad range of healthcare providers. Offering the customers integrated solutions designed around their specific business needs, including revenue cycle data analysis, contract and outsourced coding, billing, coding and compliance audits, coding education, coding consulting, physician coding services and ICD-10 education and transition services.

 

On February 10, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Anvex International, Inc., “HRAH”), a Nevada company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Health Revenue Acquisition Corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), which was treated for accounting purposes as a reverse recapitalization with HRAA, considered the accounting acquirer. Each share of HRAA’s common stock was exchanged for the right to receive approximately 1,271 shares of HRAH’s common stock. Before their entry into the Merger Agreement, no material relationship existed between HRAH and Acquisition Sub or HRAA. On April 27, 2012, the Company completed a 12.98 to 1 forward stock split. On May 2, 2012, the Company changed its ticker symbol from ANVX to HRAA.

 

The Company then went dormant in August 2014.

 

On July 14, 2020, as a result of a custodianship in Clark County, Nevada, Case Number: A816259, Custodian Ventures LLC (“Custodian”) was appointed Custodian of the Company.

 

On July 15, 2020, Custodian appointed David Lazar as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (“AmeriGuard”) was incorporated in California on November 14, 2002. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 common shares formerly held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO with 550 shares and Lillian Flores, former VP of Operations with 450 shares. On July 12, 2022, under the terms of a Settlement Agreement, Flores exchanged her 450 shares for the consideration of $3,384,950 and a promissory note in that amount secured by a stock pledge. AmeriGuard provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in 7 states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On September 8, 2021, under the terms of a private stock purchase agreement, 10,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”) of the Company, were transferred from Custodian Ventures, LLC to AmeriGuard. As a result, AmeriGuard became holder of approximately 91% of the voting rights of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis of the Company and became the controlling shareholder. The consideration paid for the Shares was $500,000. In connection with the transaction, David Lazar forgave the Company all debts owed to him and/or Custodian Ventures, LLC.

 

On September 8, 2021, the Company accepted the resignation of David Lazar as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and as a Member of the Board of Directors. Effective on the same date to fill the vacancies created by Mr. Lazar’s resignations, the Company appointed Lawrence Garcia as the Company’s President, CEO, CFO, Treasurer, Secretary, and Chairman of the Board of Directors. These resignations are in connection with the consummation of the private stock purchase agreement and was not the result of any disagreement with Company on any matter relating to Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

On March 11, 2022, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (AGSS) from Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. The name was deemed effective by FINRA on March 17, 2022.

On December 9, 2022, AGSS entered into the Merger Agreement. AmeriGuard became a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSS, and AGSS is the only shareholder and will continue in its existence with one owner, AGSS. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, (a) the Majority Shareholder relinquished all of his 573 AmeriGuard common shares and the Minority Shareholders relinquished all of their 67 AmeriGuard common shares, constituting all issued and outstanding shares of AmeriGuard (the “AmeriGuard Shares”), and were issued an aggregate of 80,578,125 and 9,421,875 respectively of AGSS common shares, representing 86.26% and 10.09% of the outstanding Common Stock of AGSS and (b) AmeriGuard returned the A-1 Preferred Stock of AGSS for retirement. After the issuance of the common shares, the existing 3,417,302 common shares represent 3.66% of the outstanding common stock of AGSS.

 

Under the AGSS Merger Agreement, One Hundred Percent (100%) of the ownership interest of Ameriguard was exchanged for an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of common stock of AGSS issued to the Majority Shareholders and the Minority Shareholders, in accordance with the AGSS Merger Agreement (the “AGSS Merger”). Also, as part of the AGSS Merger, Ameriguard cancelled the 10,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock it had purchased from Custodian Ventures, LLC. The former stockholders of Ameriguard acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock as a result of the share exchange transaction. Lawrence Garcia currently owns 86.26% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of the Company and will be able to exert significant influence and control over the Company for the foreseeable future.

 

We have 10,000,000 authorized and designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock which are entitled to seventy-two (72) votes per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on all matters on which stockholders may vote. While we currently have no such shares issued and outstanding, the voting rights afforded these Series A-1 Preferred Stock would give any future holders a disparate voting interest and allow them to potentially exert control over the actions of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement, by and among Garcia, AmeriGuard, and Lillian Flores (“Flores”), dated July 7, 2022 (the “Settlement Agreement”), AmeriGuard repurchased the 450 common shares of Flores for a total consideration of $3,384,950 payable in five equal annual installments compounded semi-annually at a three percent rate. The initial payment on July 8, 2022, of $686,990 reduced the balance to $2,697,960. The second through fifth installment are due on December 31, 2023, through December 31, 2026.

 

Prior to Merger, under the terms of a stock pledge agreement, by and among Garcia, Flores and AmeriGuard, dated July 7, 2022, 360 AmeriGuard common shares remained held in AmeriGuard treasury pledged to Flores. On Merger these pledged shares were substituted with 50,625,000 AGSS common stock of the 80,578,125 issued to Lawrence Garcia. These pledged shares are redeemed and returned to Garcia based on a stock redemption agreement, by and among Garcia, Flores and AmeriGuard, dated July 7, 2022.

 

The purposes of the transactions described in this Current Report were to complete a business combination by a stock for stock merger and complete a recapitalization of the company with the result being that AmeriGuard became a wholly owned subsidiary of AGSS, and AmeriGuard’s management will be the management of AGSS.

 

There was no offering with this merger. Effective immediately after the Share Exchange, the stock transfer books of AmeriGuard shall be closed.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California.

 

The purchase agreement was to issue 3,000,000 common shares to Lawrence Garcia in exchange for the 1,000 shares held from TransportUS, Inc. The agreement called for the immediate issuance of 1,500,000 shares when agreement was executed with the remaining 1,500,000 shares to be issued contingent on TransportUS Inc., renewing its current transportation contract with the Veterans Administration in Long Beach California. The award of the contract is expected to occur in 2024.

Overview

 

The Company manages two separate subsidiaries: Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. (“AGS”) and TransportUS, Inc. (“TUS”).

 

AGS principally provides guard services for Federal, State and Local governmental entities, quasi-governmental entities and for commercial property. Guard services generated $20 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Guard services include, providing armed and unarmed uniformed security personnel for access control, mobile patrols, traffic control, security console/system operators, fire safety directors, communication, reception, concierge and front desk/doorman operations.

 

TUS provides ambulatory and non-ambulatory services for the Veterans Administration, in Long Beach CA and Central Los Angeles CA. These two contracts generate approximately $5 million in revenues annually. TUS operates approximately 40 vehicles, a mixture of sedans, minivans, and full-size vans with wheelchair lifts, along with a dispatch service available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

 

As we continue to push growth organically as well as through acquisition, we will be able to realize a greater market share in each of these two industries.

Employees

Our Industries

 

Security

 

Security guard and related services in the US is comprised of over 11,000 companies and 900,000 officers. We compete with top firms, such as Allied Universal, Securitas, G4S and Prosegur Security, which control the majority of the industry. AGS revenue at approximately $20 million in annual revenue places it in a strong competitive position.

 

We believe that the top 40 companies have the resources to harness technology, to expand their business into related services other than guard services. Companies with over $50 million in revenue have, over the last 10 years, experienced steady growth while those guard companies under $20 million, the remaining 9,900 firms, have experienced declining revenues. We believe that the principal reason for this is the steady diversification of security services away from the traditional guard services to areas of utilization of technology requiring capital. Along with this, we believe that the profitability challenges below $20 million annual sales are much more difficult than above $50 million is sales, largely due to the significant economies of scale achieve at the higher revenue levels.

 

The proliferation of technology while increasing efficacy in performance and inevitably lower costs in the future, the impact on the contract security industry will likely have mixed results – positive for companies who harness technology into their service delivery strategies – and negative for those companies who fail to invest in or adopt these service-enhancing capabilities. Despite the advances in the U.S. contract guarding business over recent years, there remains a question as to the industry’s viability in view of the increasing trend for integrating manned services with security systems (i.e. security video, access control and monitoring) along with the emergence of other new smart technology options and solutions (i.e. robotics, drones, cybersecurity and crowd sharing alert notification).

The recent merger and acquisition trend, primarily by the major national and international security organizations and fueled by investment and funding from private equity firms, is continuing. The underlying reason for this shift is less obvious and suggests an increasing number of sellers who concluded that their better option was to exit and sell rather than remain in the marketplace and try to compete and organically grow their market share.

 

Despite its low barriers of entry and nominal capital requirements, the security guard business has become more challenging for the smaller owner/operator. The traditionally historic advantage of the smaller operator’s ability to offer relationship-driven customized services is no longer totally sufficient for sustainable growth – especially with the increasing regulatory challenges of the Affordable Care Act, federal and state minimum wage laws, Family Medical Leave Act and state laws (i.e. meal and rest break reporting and now, predictive scheduling).

 

Even stronger local and smaller regional companies are finding it more difficult to protect their client base and grow revenues under increasing regulatory as well as competitive pressures. Larger regional and national organizations are dealing with the regulatory climate while growing market share by leveraging infrastructure, technology, economies of scale with more aggressive pricing and better service reliability. This approach appears to offer a more compelling value proposition from the client’s perspective, which seems evident by the higher client retention rates reported by the major security companies.

 

However, this consolidation trend may not be inevitable for the future as newer, more tech-savvy owner/operators enter the business and recognize how to adopt best practices with a variety of sophisticated third-party software platforms and applications to help level the playing field. These include talent management and on-boarding applications to attract, hire and maintain a more skilled and reliable workforce; integrated labor management platforms to control scheduling, compliance, operations, payroll, billing and financial reporting; and state-of-the-art social media marketing applications.

 

The contract security industry should now be able to more effectively capitalize on and penetrate opportunities in a $20 billion in-house market – especially for those companies who have invested and integrated technology into a more highly reliable ecosystem of protective services.

 

For the foreseeable future, the U.S. manned guarding business seems likely for continued sustainable growth. While the technology/manpower ratio may shift the revenue mix going forward, based on today’s currently expanding U.S. economy, the prospects for an aggregate growth rate of four percent or more seem realistic and perhaps even conservative, especially for ownership who have prudently invested in technology enhancements to their core guarding operations.

 

Providing these strategies can yield an attractive ROI, increase operating profits (EBITDA ranges of four to six percent and higher) and enterprise valuations, this industry seems not only viable but also opportune for further investment consideration.

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation

 

The non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) industry is a fast-growing industry. A review of multiple publications available online indicates the North American market was approximately $6.4 billion in 2022 with a compound annual growth rate of between 7.5% and 9%. This provides TUS with a market of approximately $7.6 billion in 2024. As a relatively new company, it is positioned to grow rapidly in the governmental NEMT market and is focused on expanding its market share in southern CA.

 

TUS has an excellent reputation in the industry and will take advantage of this status as it bids on contracts moving forward. TUS will continue to focus on providing high quality service with our excellent staff and improving the quality of our fleet. Taking advantage of the capital markets available to AGSS, TUS will be able to enter more markets and be very competitive and profitable.

Corporate Structure

 

As previously mentioned, on December 9, 2022, AGSS executed a reverse merger with AmeriGuard resulting in AGSS becoming the sole owner of AmeriGuard. This merger establishes AGSS as a company operating a viable guard company with annual sales of approximately $24,000,000. It also is in the position to access the capital market to generate the capital needed to begin its growth strategy of mergers and acquisitions within the security industry.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. This brings the second entity under the ownership and management of AGSS. TransportUS Inc., adds an opportunity to increase revenues in the more profitable federal contracts requiring non-emergency medical transportation. As mentioned earlier, this industry is projected to grow at 9% year over year through 2032. AGSS will be a strong participant in the industry and will grow via contract awards and additional acquisitions within the industry.

 

AGSS continues developing the leadership team needed for success. We have in place a CEO with 20 years of experience in our industry and has been very successful in the government contracting market. Our new CFO has 20 years of experience in improving business performance as well as organizational growth across various sectors. Our Senior Controller has over 35 years of business finance experience, the last 15 of which he has been focusing on organizational development consulting across multiple industries, and an Operations team on the east coast managing IT and our federal contracts. We have an exclusive contract with Think Equity a New York Investment Banking Firm, and we have engaged legal and SEC compliance professionals. We have a Board of Directors with Wall Street and government security experience making us well positioned to aggressively grow the business.

Results of Operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023

 

Revenues and Cost of Services

 

For 2023 the Company experienced a 15.9% overall decrease in operational revenue, totaling approximately $3,977,000. The majority of the decline, approximately $4,600,000, was from the contract with the Environmental Protection Authority, EPA, that ended in May 2023. The result was only 5 months of revenue in 2023 compared to 12 months in 2022. This loss of revenue was offset by the revenue from the consolidation of TUS. The total revenue for TUS was approximately $920,000. The remaining $297,000 decline was experienced in the commercial services market, as businesses are facing declining sales and increasing costs, reduced security guard hours in 2023.

 

The total cost of goods sold saw a decline of approximately $2,784,000, a 12.7% decline as expected. This decline reflects the cost reduction due to the ending of the EPA contract, against a slight increase in direct labor costs due to the inflation rate experienced in 2023. Most direct expense categories within the Cost of Services section saw a decline from 2022 due to the ending of the EPA contract. Salaries and benefits declined approximately $670,000, sub-contractor expenses declined approximately $2,140,000, Training and supplies expense declined approximately $116,600. The only cost of goods sold category that increase was vehicle expenses from adding TUS. Vehicle expense increased approximately $138,000.

 

For the federal guard contracts, as the costs of labor increases within the unionized contract so does the revenue. For the Commercial operations there is a lag between cost increases and service rate increases. It continues to be our practice to adjust service rates annually in the month of February. Although we did increase our billing rates for new contracts during 2023, the existing companies did not see a rate increase since February 2023. As noted, the demand for guard services declined during 2023, and the increased cost of these services are out of line with the needs of the market. As AGS deals with the increases cost of labor, the customers are experiencing similar cost pressures and are less willing to pay for our traditional services. The conflict of AGS needing to raise services fees and customers needing to pay less has created a challenge in the market. As a result, AGS has shifted its approach to protecting business assets from the traditional standing guard to technology and patrol services. AGS has established a 24-hour dispatch department to monitor activity and direct patrol officers to the problem locations. Our patrol officers respond to all alarms regardless of cause within 15 minutes of activation. This is a cost effect way for businesses to have protection without the high expense of a posted guard. This is an area of service we are continuing to expand.

 

Currently, we have four federal contracts continuing into 2024, that approximated 96% of our total services revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. All federal contracts are awarded with a term of 5 years, with annual renewals. At the end of each contract year the government has the option to renew, cancel or renegotiate. Our four contracts and their respective terms are as follows:

 

  Social Security Administration, NSC   -

September 2022 through September 2027

Annual Revenue of approx. $5.8M

           
  Social security Administration, SSC   -

June 2022 through June 2027

Annual Revenue of approx. $5M

           
  Social Security Administration, WBDOC   -

June 2021 through July 2026

Annual Revenue of approx. $3M

           
  Veterans Administration – Long Beach CA   -

Feb 2019 through June 2024

Annual Revenue of approx. $4.4M

 

As with all professional service industries the vast majority of expense in with direct labor and expenses associated with that labor. We are not an exception. Our direct expenses average around 91% of revenues. Total cost of services was approximately $19,170,000 in 2023 and approximately $21,950,000 in 2022.

Operating Expenses and Other Expense

 

Operation expense increased in 2023 over 2022 by approximately $1,153,000. The largest category of increases was in administrative salaries and related payroll expenses, of approximately $442,000. Ninety percent of this increase was due to the establishment of the required IT department and an east coast operations group (mid-2022) along with a new Human Resource department (2023). Professional services experienced an increase of approximately $102,000. A portion of this increase, $65,000, was due to the audit requirements of TransportUS Inc. prior to acquisition, the remainder due to the cost associated with a full year of quarterly filings that required professional review. Two other expense categories that experienced an increase over 2022 were Staff Training and Livescan fees. These two experienced a combined increase of approximately $178,000. This is due to the strategic decision to close a separate Training Company operating in Maryland and making it a division of AGS. This resulted in all of the operating expenses of the closed company being added to AGS normal operations. Loan interest expense also saw an increase of approximately $171,000 due to a full year of interest for the shareholder buyout loan, along with additional loan interest and borrowing fees occurred in the 4th quarter. Communication expenses increased by approximately $24,000 due to an increase in cell phones provided for the use of new technology along with related costs of geo tracking. General liability insurance increase by approximately $73,000 due to adding TUS and general increase experience in CA. License and permit expenses increased approximately $63,000 due to the timing of renewals of multi-year licenses. Finally, General and administrative expenses increased approximately $136,000 primarily from increases in bank fees, outside services, rent, and office supplies.

 

At this time, our operating structure and current level of expense can handle twice the revenue stream with minor increases to our operating overhead expenses. This allows the entire gross profit of any new contract or company acquisition to go straight to the bottom line, providing a consistent return on investment.

 

Net (Loss) from Operations and Other Income

 

The Company experienced a significant net loss from operations of $2,428,681 for the year ending December 31, 2023, compared to a minor loss of $82,311 for the year ending December 31,2022. The cause of this loss was the gross profit margin lost due to the end of the EPA contract and the expenses increase described above. Other income increased over $2.5 million due to the Employee Retention Tax Credit received by AGS in June 2023. Bringing the final Net Income to $103,616 for 2023 compared to a $426,416 loss for 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations and proceeds from debt financing. During the year ended December 31, 2023, operations generated net cash increase of $87,715 while cash used from investing activities during the same period was $46,207 with cash provided from financing activities was $1,072,386. Resulting in a net cash increase of $938,464 for 2023. The net decrease in cash for 2022 was approximately $902,000.

 

The main source of cash from financing activities was a short-term accounts receivable loan received in December in the amount of $1,074,160. Financing activities usage was SBA loan payments of $74,174. The main use of cash in investing activities was used for operations.

 

On December 31, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of $2,166,118, with total current assets of $4,147,519.

 

Moving Forward

 

During the past eighteen months we have worked diligently to set up our corporate structure and systems and implement our strategy as a public company to expand our business. Our current overhead expense structure has the capacity to manage two to three times the revenues from one of two strategic sources.

 

10

 

 

Our first source is to continue our historical path of seeking organic growth through bidding and winning contracts that meet our criteria. We are confident with our history of excellent service and strategic bids that we should add new contracts to the company.

 

Our second source of growth is merger and acquisition. Now that we have the capital market available to us and our industry is positioned for long-term growth, now is the time. The security industry continues to grow in opportunity, and at the same there’s a lot of consolidation occurring. We plan to strategically acquire others and quickly double our revenues with one or two key acquisitions. The net profit from these acquisitions would positively impact our bottom line.

 

There are also potential acquisition opportunities in several other industries that could fit our business model. Those include transportation, cyber security, private security, ammunition manufacturing, and surveillance.

 

Management is very positive regarding profitable operations for the next twelve months based on the following:

 

  Both industries that AGSS currently operates in are growing industries.

 

  The security industry is somewhat recession proof.
     
  The non-emergency transportation market is growing at an annual rate of over 7.5%.
     
  There are over 10,000 security companies operating in our market, with 50% available for acquisition.

 

  Our management team, Board of Directors and supporting equity professionals can get the job done.

 

  We have been and will continue to be a company that is very conservative with our resources and will use every possible dollar to provide strength and good return to our investors.

 

  We are in it for the long haul.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in the Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended. The Company appointed an independent audit committee June 14, 2023.

 

The Company has restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 due to the disbarment of its former independent registered public accounting firm, BF Borgers by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a result, the Company engaged a new independent auditor, Bush & Associates CPA, LLC to reaudit the affected prior-year financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). BF Borgers’s reports on AGSS’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the re-audit it was discovered that the company had an improper application of ASC 805 (Business Combinations) for it’s October 20,2023 acquisition of TransportUS.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) or an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on ICFR due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for newly public companies. The SEC has adopted a transition period permitting a newly public company to wait until its second annual report to comply with Section 404(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”). After that point, issuers that are emerging growth companies, or are not large, accelerated filers or accelerated filers are exempt from the requirements of SOX 404(b). As such, if the Company continues to satisfy as being an emerging growth company or other exemption standards as listed above, it will continue to be exempted from filing attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding ICFR.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina, he became known as the “Category 5 General” for his leadership in coordinating military relief efforts in post-hurricane New Orleans. General Honore knows that the future of our national security depends on protecting our environment, and he’s fighting for a brighter future for us all.

Our directors do not hold any directorships in other reporting companies and does not qualify as an “independent director” under the Rules of NASDAQ, Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

 

To our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors and executive officers (including those of our subsidiaries) have:

Code of Ethics

 

A code of business conduct and ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote (a) honest and ethical conduct, (b) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements, (c) compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, (d) the prompt reporting violation of the code and (e) accountability for adherence to the code. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that we adopt a code of ethics; however, we intend to adopt one in the near future.

 

Board of Directors

 

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the board.

 

Our directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred by them in connection with attending board meetings and receive a monthly honorarium for serving on the board.

 

Lawrence Garcia, CEO and majority Shareholder, is our only non-independent director.

 

Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the Company;
     
  the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
     
  a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the Company;
     
  the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
     
  the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the Company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
     
  the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

Compensation committee

 

The board of directors established a compensation committee as required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The committee will make compensation recommendations to the board.

 

15

 

 

2024 Equity Incentive Plan

 

Our Board of Directors and stockholders owning a majority of our outstanding shares plans to adopt an Equity Incentive Plan during 2024. Details of the plan will be developed with the input of the Board of Directors along with the then established compensation committee.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

Independence of the Board of Directors

 

For a director to be “independent” under these standards, the Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us. Applying corporate governance standards, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board of Directors has determined that one of our directors is independent. This does not constitute an independent board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Ameriguard Security Services, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, certain errors resulting in an understatement of previously reported loss for the years ended 2023 and 2022 were discovered by us during the current year. Accordingly, the 2023 and 2022 financial statements have been restated to correct the misstatement.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole8, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

F-2

 

 

Business Combination

 

As discussed in Notes 6 of the financial statements, the Company’s total goodwill amount was approximately $1.8 million on December 31, 2023.

 

We identified the Company’s goodwill as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgment and estimation involved in management’s annual impairment assessment. Specifically, the evaluation of goodwill for the TransportUS reporting unit required the use of unobservable inputs and complex assumptions, including forecasts of future economic and market conditions, revenue growth rates, profit margins, and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. These factors, along with the sensitivity of the impairment analysis to changes in key assumptions, resulted in a high degree of auditor effort and subjectivity in evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

 

Our audit procedures to address this critical audit matter included, among others:

 

Assess the methodologies and significant assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit, including the application of the discounted cash flow (DCF) model.

 

Test the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the impairment analysis.

 

Evaluate the qualifications and objectivity of the valuation specialists engaged by management and the appropriateness of key inputs, such as the discount rate and long-term growth projections.

 

Perform sensitivity analyses to assess how changes in significant assumptions could affect the estimated fair value and the potential for impairment

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (AGS), was incorporated on November 14, 2002, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares of no-par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO with 550 shares and Lillian Flores, VP of Operations with 450 shares. AGS provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in 5 states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On July 7, 2021, AGS, entered into an agreement to gain 100% control of Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc (HRAA) a public corporation, incorporated in Nevada, by the purchase of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred A-1 Stock from the seller, Custodian Ventures LLC. The purchase of HRAA allowed the Company to begin plans to consummate a reverse merger with HRAA, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a public company. In March of 2022, a Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing the name of HRAA to Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. (AGSS). Shortly thereafter, a stock name and ticker change report was filed with the SEC and the stock ticker of HRAA was changed to AGSS.

 

On December 9, 2022, AGS executed the reverse merger agreement and became the subsidiary of AGSS (the Company). From that point forward, the financial statement filings will be the consolidation of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc, a Nevada company with Ameriguard Security Services, Inc., a California company.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidating financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements and notes include TransportUS Inc.’s financial results from the fourth quarter, 2023.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we are or may face in the future. If any of the following do occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

The company receives over 90% of its total revenue from Federal contracts as described in Note 14 below. These contracts have specific terms, typically five years with the opportunity for extension, but there are no assurances they will be extended. Although we have had several extended in the past, there is no guarantee this will again happened in the future. However, there are significant direct expenses for each contract that also are removed from operations at the end of a contract. As a result, the revenue lost from a completed contract does not affect the bottom-line profits in an amount equal to the revenue lost. The actual net income impact depends on the contract.

 

The process required to acquire a government contract takes several months to complete prior to delivery of the proposal to the contracting agency. Due to the time span required to prepare a proposal and winning the contract is not guaranteed, the company maintains a department of individuals who monitor and write proposals for all government contracts that become open for bid on a continuing basis. It is important to the company that new contracts are acquired consistently to maintain and grow annual revenue.

 

Other risks to operations consist of State and Federal regulations, staffing shortages, accelerating inflation, and overall business environment issues we cannot foresee.

NOTE 2 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

The Company has restated its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and its consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, along with certain related notes to such restated consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company has restated its consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Company determined that the restatement was necessary after the re-audit conducted by the new audit firm discovered the incorrect application of the acquisition (ASC 805 Business Combinations) on October 20, 2023 of TransportUS by the Company. The restatement corrects errors that were identified as a result of the re-audit, as well as certain other errors that were identified by the Company. In addition, the restatement reflects corrections of certain immaterial errors and certain previously identified errors that were identified by the Company in the normal course of business and were determined to be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, when the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 were originally issued. In connection with the restatement, the Company has determined that it would be appropriate to correct such errors.

 

Error Corrections

 

In 2022 the prior financial statements reflected a combination of both the Company and TransportUS. The re-audit has changed that application and presents the Company separately from the acquisition.

 

For 2023, the re-audit discovered improper valuations of certain assets such as goodwill, deferred liability, an investment in subsidiary asset value and deferred liability of subsidiary.”

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, along with the collectability of some receivables from customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,166,118 and $1,227,654 respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We record accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and is charged to other bad debt expense. We calculate this allowance based on our history of write-offs, the level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and our relationships with, and the economic status of, our customers. With over eighty-seven percent of year end accounts receivable balance from Federal contracts that require payment, and the uncollectable amount historically has been less than 1%. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts was determined to be unnecessary.

 

F-9

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful life for Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicles is 5 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life is 15 Years.

 

Operating Leases

 

In February 2016, FASB ASU No. 2016-02 established ASC Topic 842, Leases, which sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. Effective December 31, 2022, we have implemented ASU No. 2016-02 and booked the operating lease asset and the related liability.

 

The Company is a lessee with Enterprise Lease Management for vehicles used in operations, under an all-inclusive master lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use (ROU) asset at the commencement date. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of future lease payments to the Right-of-Use (ROU) asset or lease liability. The leasehold amortization was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate based on the 7-year risk-free Treasury rate as of January 3, 2024, set at 3.95%. This rate was applied to determine the present value of the lease payments and record the right-of-use asset and lease liability as recorded on the balance sheet as detailed in Note 7.

 

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any leases that qualify for this election.

 

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

 

Net income/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for those services. There are five steps or qualifiers that determine the timing and amount of Revenue Recognition. Those five steps are:

 

1. Identifying the contract with a customer.

 

2. Identifying the performance obligation in the contract.

 

3. Determine the transaction price.

 

4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations.

 

F-10

 

 

5. Recognize the revenue when the entity satisfies the performance obligation.

 

The Company generates and recognizes revenue in three sales categories. Those being, Formal Contracts, Sales Agreements and Retail activities. For the retail activities, the revenue is recognized on a cash basis at the time of sale. For the other two categories, the customers are billed at the end of the month the services have been performed.

 

The formal contract and sales agreements stipulate the exact services to be performed and the rate the services are to be billed, as per steps 1, 2 and 3. The Company provides details of services provided with each billing invoice for customer review and approval. Any differences are resolved prior to payment, Step 4. The Company recognizes revenue in the month the services stipulated in the agreement have been provided, Step 5.

 

Ninety eight percent of revenues are billed monthly and recognized in the month the services were provided. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company has not recorded a reserve for returns on December 31, 2024, or 2023 since it does not believe such returns will be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY NOTE RECEIVABLE

 

As of December 31, 2023, TransportUS held a receivable from a related company, AmeriGuard Security Systems, Inc (AmeriGuard) in the amount of $350,000. The relationship with AmeriGuard relates to the contract the Company holds with the Veteran’s Administration in Long Beach, California. The contract required this relationship with AmeriGuard, at the time of the award. Funds from the contract were shared with AmeriGuard during the first 3.5 years of joint operations, which ended April 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the receivable was adjusted to $350,000 and a note payable from AmeriGuard was executed. The $350,000 note is amortized over 20 years, with a balloon payment December 31, 2032. The interest rate is 6%, with the monthly payment of $2,500. For 2023, the payments were interest only in the amount of $1,750. The note receivable is presented with the current portion of $9,300, and long-term portion of $340,700 for the year ending December 31, 2023.

 

F-11

 

 

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

 

On July 7, 2021, AGS entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the Preferred A-1 Stock of Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. a SEC registered company for $500,000. In March 2022, Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc. name was changed to Ameriguard Security Services Inc. (AGSS). On December 9, 2022, we signed the definitive merger agreement initiating a reverse merger with AGSS, resulting in AGS becoming a 100% owned subsidiary of AGSS. Prior to the merger, AGS funded the operational expenses of AGSS and treated these expenses as related party expenses. These expenses were eliminated when the two companies were consolidated for the financial statement presentation.

 

NOTE 6 – GOODWILL/DEFERRED LIABILITY SUBSIDIARY

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California.

 

The purchase agreement was to issue 3,000,000 common shares to Lawrence Garcia in exchange for the 1,000 shares held from TransportUS, Inc. The agreement called for the immediate issuance of 1,500,000 shares when the agreement was executed with the remaining 1,500,000 shares to be issued contingent on TransportUS Inc., renewing its current transportation contract with the Veterans Administration in Long Beach California. The award of the contract is expected to occur in 2025.

 

This agreement generated a Goodwill asset of $1,795,406 resulting from the $2,220,000 value of the shares issued for the purchase over the net book value of TransportUS, Inc. of $424,593 as of October 31, 2023. Due to the agreements two step issuance of the agreed 3,000,000 AGSS shares, the impact on the Balance Sheet of AGSS is an increase in common stock book value by $1,110,000, a deferred liability of $1,110,000, an investment in subsidiary asset value of $424,593 and Goodwill in the amount of $1,795,406, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The consolidated Balance Sheet presentation eliminates the investment in subsidiary asset reflected on the Balance Sheet of AGSS.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Deferred Liability in Subsidiary increased by $30,000 due to the decrease in share value as of that date. This created a loss from deferred liability of subsidiary equal to $30,000. The result is a balance of $1,140,000 in Deferred Liability Subsidiary as of December 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 7 – FIXED ASSETS

 

Fixed assets consist of the following on December 31, 2023, and 2022:

 

               
    2023     2022  
Leasehold Improvements     274,133       224,132  
Machinery and Equipment     290,892       278,551  
Vehicles     635,172       110,274  
Total Fixed Assets     1,200,197       612,957  
Accumulated Depreciation     (626,083 )     (314,151 )
Fixed Assets, Net   $ 574,114     $ 298,806  

 

NOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASES

 

We have leased vehicles with terms greater than one year that are classified as operating leases per the guidelines. The lease terms vary between 48 and 60 months. At the end of the term the vehicle becomes the property of the Company.

 

F-12

 

 

The capital lease value as calculated following FASB guidelines is presented as a non-current asset on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the value is calculated to be $977,600, and as of December 31, 2022, the value was $241,786. For the Operating Lease liability, the amount of $977,600 was calculated as of December 31, 2023, and was $241,786 as of December 31, 2022. The Operating Lease liability is presented as current and long term. The current portion of the Operating Lease liability for December 31, 2023, is $269,230 and for December 31, 2022, it is $88,245. The increase in both the Operating Lease asset and liability as of December 31, 2023, is due to the addition of 5 leased vehicles by TransportUS Inc., during the year, which directly caused the increased lease asset and related liability.

 

The discount rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of future lease payments to the Right-of-Use (ROU) asset or lease liability. The leasehold amortization was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate based on the 7-year risk-free Treasury rate as of January 3, 2023, set at 3.95%. This rate was applied to determine the present value of the lease payments and record the right-of-use asset and lease liability as recorded on the balance sheet.

 

Maturities of lease liabilities on December 31, 2023, are as follows:

 

         
2024: $ 269,104  
2025: $ 261,130  
2026: $ 233,281  
2027: $ 156,809  
2028: $ 55,298  
Thereafter $ 1,978  
Total $ 977,600  

 

NOTE 9 – DEFERRED REVENUE

 

During the first three years of operations of TransportUS Inc, Secure Transportation, Inc. (Secure), a subcontractor, advanced funds to TransportUS Inc. with the expectation of future services provided for Secure. This arrangement ended, December 31, 2021, after Secure had advanced $1,087,327. The agreement moving forward requires TransportUS to provide services in the amount of $15,000 per month or return funds to secure in that same amount. TransportUS has returned funds in the amount of $365,000, leaving a balance of $722,327 as of December 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 10 – PAYROLL LIABILITY – PENSION

 

The company offers various pension plans to employee groups based on location of employment. Corporate office employees and guards have an option to participate in a 401K sponsored by the company with a matching program up to 5% of employee salary. Federal contracts have union agreements that define the pension calculation and due dates. It is the responsibility of the company to calculate the pension benefit amount each month and contribute the amount due to the plan designated. The pension balances due on December 31, 2023, and 2022 for all plans were $507,792 and $453,965 respectively.

 

NOTE 11 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

In June 2020, AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. received an SBA Loan through Fresno First Bank in the amount of $1,080,000 that was used to close out a Citibank loan in the amount of $312,339 with the remaining balance after expenses held in reserve. The SBA loan is a 10-year loan with monthly principal and interest payments. Interest rate is variable at prime rate plus 2.75%, adjusted every calendar quarter.

NOTE 12 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY/(DEFICIT)

 

On December 9, 2022, AGS executed a reverse merger agreement with AGSS resulting in significant adjustments to the equity section of both companies. The result of the merger was AGSS became the sole owner of AGS.

 

The first significant impact on stockholders’ equity was the issuance of 90,000,000 AGSS shares to the shareholders of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc., in exchange for 1000 shares of AGS, adding a net increase in common shares outstanding of 89,999,000. Next was the cancelation and conversion of series 675,000 A-1 preferred shares held by AGSS on December 31, 2020. The final result in the total number of shares outstanding is 93,417,302.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a purchase agreement to acquire a related company owned by Lawrence Garcia, CEO. TransportUS Inc. valued at $3,000,000. The company agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares, with 1,500,000 shares issued at time of purchase, and a bonus of 1,500,000 shares when TransportUS renews its main services contract with the Veterans Affairs Department of Long Beach, CA. The purchase created two assets for AGSS. Goodwill in the amount of $1,795,406 and an Investment in Subsidiary in the amount of $424,593. The 1,500,000 shares issued by AGSS and the 1,000 shares retired by TransportUs are reflected in the 2023 section of the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity/(Deficit) report. Resulting in common stock outstanding of 94,917,302 at year end.

 

There was another transaction that impacted stockholders’ equity that occurred to the Company’s equity section relating to owner draws and the merger with a related company. As a part of the normal activity of the privately held Company, an S-Corp, shareholders were distributed funds accounted for as Owner Draws. The owner draw accounts were used primarily for taxes paid by the shareholders due to profits of the S-Corp being transferred to their personal returns along with some personal expenses and personal cash needs. As part of the preparation for the merger, these inter-company balances were removed through the owner draw accounts. Total owner draw amount was $62,825 for December 31, 2022.

NOTE 15 – LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

 

As of December 31, 2023, there are three employment issues pending. The issues revolve around terminated employees alleging the Company has failed to pay minimum wages, sick pay wages, meal period violations, rest period violations, wage statement violations and violation of the unfair business practices act. A lawsuit has been filed, but it is early in the process and the attorneys cannot comment on the merits at this time. The Company believes the suit has no merit and intends to resolve it before a trial, if possible.

 

Per Attorney letters issued there are no other pending cases or legal matters.

 

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

 

Due to the losses incurred during the tax year ending 2022, and the expected zero tax due for 2023, there is no estimated tax liability for 2023. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

 

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 2, 2024, the Company entered into a short-term loan agreement collateralized by accounts receivable with Cedar Advance Capital. The agreement encumbered $719,250 of receivables, resulting in a note payable of $525,000; the repayment term requires $22,477 per week for 32 weeks. On the same date, the Company entered into a short-term loan agreement collateralized by accounts receivable with Velocity Capital Group. The agreement encumbered $565,150 of receivables resulting in a note payable of $412,500; the repayment term requires $17,660 per week for 32 weeks.

 

On January 22, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Lillian Flores regarding the deferral of the required shareholder buyout payment of $611,253 due December 31, 2023. The deferral of the principal payment we requested by the Company for the purpose of capital retention. The agreement allows for a $16,500 monthly principal and interest payment starting in January 2024 through June 2024. Monthly interest is calculated at $1,585, leaving $14,915 applied to the principal. The agreement requires the remaining deferred principal of $521,763 to be paid by the Company on or before June 30, 2024.

 

Late January 2024, the Company was notified that TransportUS, Inc. was awarded a transportation contract by the Veterans Administration for the central Los Angeles region. The total value of the contract is estimated at $7.5 million over 4.5 years. The original start date of February 1, 2024, was delayed until the start of the second quarter. The annual impact of this contract will be approximately $1.6 million in increased revenue.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (AGS), was incorporated on November 14, 2002, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares of no-par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO with 550 shares and Lillian Flores, VP of Operations with 450 shares. AGS provides armed guard services as a federal contractor with licenses in 5 states and provides commercial guard services in California.

 

On July 7, 2021, AGS, entered into an agreement to gain 100% control of Health Revenue Assurance Holdings, Inc (HRAA) a public corporation, incorporated in Nevada, by the purchase of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred A-1 Stock from the seller, Custodian Ventures LLC. The purchase of HRAA allowed the Company to begin plans to consummate a reverse merger with HRAA, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a public company. In March of 2022, a Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing the name of HRAA to Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. (AGSS). Shortly thereafter, a stock name and ticker change report was filed with the SEC and the stock ticker of HRAA was changed to AGSS.

 

On December 9, 2022, AGS executed the reverse merger agreement and became the subsidiary of AGSS (the Company). From that point forward, the financial statement filings will be the consolidation of Ameriguard Security Services, Inc, a Nevada company with Ameriguard Security Services, Inc., a California company.

 

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a share purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidating financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements and notes include TransportUS Inc.’s financial results from the fourth quarter, 2023.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we are or may face in the future. If any of the following do occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

The company receives over 90% of its total revenue from Federal contracts as described in Note 14 below. These contracts have specific terms, typically five years with the opportunity for extension, but there are no assurances they will be extended. Although we have had several extended in the past, there is no guarantee this will again happened in the future. However, there are significant direct expenses for each contract that also are removed from operations at the end of a contract. As a result, the revenue lost from a completed contract does not affect the bottom-line profits in an amount equal to the revenue lost. The actual net income impact depends on the contract.

 

The process required to acquire a government contract takes several months to complete prior to delivery of the proposal to the contracting agency. Due to the time span required to prepare a proposal and winning the contract is not guaranteed, the company maintains a department of individuals who monitor and write proposals for all government contracts that become open for bid on a continuing basis. It is important to the company that new contracts are acquired consistently to maintain and grow annual revenue.

 

Other risks to operations consist of State and Federal regulations, staffing shortages, accelerating inflation, and overall business environment issues we cannot foresee.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

NOTE 2 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

The Company has restated its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and its consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, along with certain related notes to such restated consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company has restated its consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Company determined that the restatement was necessary after the re-audit conducted by the new audit firm discovered the incorrect application of the acquisition (ASC 805 Business Combinations) on October 20, 2023 of TransportUS by the Company. The restatement corrects errors that were identified as a result of the re-audit, as well as certain other errors that were identified by the Company. In addition, the restatement reflects corrections of certain immaterial errors and certain previously identified errors that were identified by the Company in the normal course of business and were determined to be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, when the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 were originally issued. In connection with the restatement, the Company has determined that it would be appropriate to correct such errors.

 

Error Corrections

 

In 2022 the prior financial statements reflected a combination of both the Company and TransportUS. The re-audit has changed that application and presents the Company separately from the acquisition.

 

For 2023, the re-audit discovered improper valuations of certain assets such as goodwill, deferred liability, an investment in subsidiary asset value and deferred liability of subsidiary.”

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, along with the collectability of some receivables from customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,166,118 and $1,227,654 respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We record accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and is charged to other bad debt expense. We calculate this allowance based on our history of write-offs, the level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and our relationships with, and the economic status of, our customers. With over eighty-seven percent of year end accounts receivable balance from Federal contracts that require payment, and the uncollectable amount historically has been less than 1%. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts was determined to be unnecessary.

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful life for Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicles is 5 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life is 15 Years.

 

Operating Leases

 

In February 2016, FASB ASU No. 2016-02 established ASC Topic 842, Leases, which sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. Effective December 31, 2022, we have implemented ASU No. 2016-02 and booked the operating lease asset and the related liability.

 

The Company is a lessee with Enterprise Lease Management for vehicles used in operations, under an all-inclusive master lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use (ROU) asset at the commencement date. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of future lease payments to the Right-of-Use (ROU) asset or lease liability. The leasehold amortization was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate based on the 7-year risk-free Treasury rate as of January 3, 2024, set at 3.95%. This rate was applied to determine the present value of the lease payments and record the right-of-use asset and lease liability as recorded on the balance sheet as detailed in Note 7.

 

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any leases that qualify for this election.

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

 

Net income/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for those services. There are five steps or qualifiers that determine the timing and amount of Revenue Recognition. Those five steps are:

 

1. Identifying the contract with a customer.

 

2. Identifying the performance obligation in the contract.

 

3. Determine the transaction price.

 

4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations.

 

5. Recognize the revenue when the entity satisfies the performance obligation.

 

The Company generates and recognizes revenue in three sales categories. Those being, Formal Contracts, Sales Agreements and Retail activities. For the retail activities, the revenue is recognized on a cash basis at the time of sale. For the other two categories, the customers are billed at the end of the month the services have been performed.

 

The formal contract and sales agreements stipulate the exact services to be performed and the rate the services are to be billed, as per steps 1, 2 and 3. The Company provides details of services provided with each billing invoice for customer review and approval. Any differences are resolved prior to payment, Step 4. The Company recognizes revenue in the month the services stipulated in the agreement have been provided, Step 5.

 

Ninety eight percent of revenues are billed monthly and recognized in the month the services were provided. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company has not recorded a reserve for returns on December 31, 2024, or 2023 since it does not believe such returns will be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

On October 20, 2023, the Company executed a purchase agreement to acquire TransportUS Inc. TransportUS, Inc. was incorporated on October 24, 2018, with an S-Corp tax election. The corporation was incorporated with the issuance of 1,000 shares with no-par par value stock held by Lawrence Garcia, President and CEO. TransportUS Inc. provides human transportation services as a federal contractor, currently providing services in the state of California.

 

The purchase agreement was to issue 3,000,000 common shares to Lawrence Garcia in exchange for the 1,000 shares held from TransportUS, Inc. The agreement called for the immediate issuance of 1,500,000 shares when the agreement was executed with the remaining 1,500,000 shares to be issued contingent on TransportUS Inc., renewing its current transportation contract with the Veterans Administration in Long Beach California. The award of the contract is expected to occur in 2025.

 

This agreement generated a Goodwill asset of $1,795,406 resulting from the $2,220,000 value of the shares issued for the purchase over the net book value of TransportUS, Inc. of $424,593 as of October 31, 2023. Due to the agreements two step issuance of the agreed 3,000,000 AGSS shares, the impact on the Balance Sheet of AGSS is an increase in common stock book value by $1,110,000, a deferred liability of $1,110,000, an investment in subsidiary asset value of $424,593 and Goodwill in the amount of $1,795,406, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The consolidated Balance Sheet presentation eliminates the investment in subsidiary asset reflected on the Balance Sheet of AGSS.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Deferred Liability in Subsidiary increased by $30,000 due to the decrease in share value as of that date. This created a loss from deferred liability of subsidiary equal to $30,000. The result is a balance of $1,140,000 in Deferred Liability Subsidiary as of December 31, 2023.

NOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASES

 

We have leased vehicles with terms greater than one year that are classified as operating leases per the guidelines. The lease terms vary between 48 and 60 months. At the end of the term the vehicle becomes the property of the Company.

 

The capital lease value as calculated following FASB guidelines is presented as a non-current asset on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the value is calculated to be $977,600, and as of December 31, 2022, the value was $241,786. For the Operating Lease liability, the amount of $977,600 was calculated as of December 31, 2023, and was $241,786 as of December 31, 2022. The Operating Lease liability is presented as current and long term. The current portion of the Operating Lease liability for December 31, 2023, is $269,230 and for December 31, 2022, it is $88,245. The increase in both the Operating Lease asset and liability as of December 31, 2023, is due to the addition of 5 leased vehicles by TransportUS Inc., during the year, which directly caused the increased lease asset and related liability.

 

The discount rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of future lease payments to the Right-of-Use (ROU) asset or lease liability. The leasehold amortization was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate based on the 7-year risk-free Treasury rate as of January 3, 2023, set at 3.95%. This rate was applied to determine the present value of the lease payments and record the right-of-use asset and lease liability as recorded on the balance sheet.

 

Maturities of lease liabilities on December 31, 2023, are as follows:

 

         
2024: $ 269,104

The company agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares, with 1,500,000 shares issued at time of purchase, and a bonus of 1,500,000 shares when TransportUS renews its main services contract with the Veterans Affairs Department of Long Beach, CA. The purchase created two assets for AGSS. Goodwill in the amount of $1,795,406 and an Investment in Subsidiary in the amount of $424,593. The 1,500,000 shares issued by AGSS and the 1,000 shares retired by TransportUs are reflected in the 2023 section of the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity/(Deficit) report. Resulting in common stock outstanding of 94,917,302 at year end.

 

There was another transaction that impacted stockholders’ equity that occurred to the Company’s equity section relating to owner draws and the merger with a related company. As a part of the normal activity of the privately held Company, an S-Corp, shareholders were distributed funds accounted for as Owner Draws. The owner draw accounts were used primarily for taxes paid by the shareholders due to profits of the S-Corp being transferred to their personal returns along with some personal expenses and personal cash needs. As part of the preparation for the merger, these inter-company balances were removed through the owner draw accounts. Total owner draw amount was $62,825 for December 31, 2022.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, along with the collectability of some receivables from customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,166,118 and $1,227,654 respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

We record accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and is charged to other bad debt expense. We calculate this allowance based on our history of write-offs, the level of past-due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and our relationships with, and the economic status of, our customers. With over eighty-seven percent of year end accounts receivable balance from Federal contracts that require payment, and the uncollectable amount historically has been less than 1%. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts was determined to be unnecessary.

 

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful life for Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicles is 5 years, with Leasehold improvements useful life is 15 Years.

 

Operating Leases

Operating Leases

 

In February 2016, FASB ASU No. 2016-02 established ASC Topic 842, Leases, which sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. Effective December 31, 2022, we have implemented ASU No. 2016-02 and booked the operating lease asset and the related liability.

 

The Company is a lessee with Enterprise Lease Management for vehicles used in operations, under an all-inclusive master lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use (ROU) asset at the commencement date. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of future lease payments to the Right-of-Use (ROU) asset or lease liability. The leasehold amortization was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate based on the 7-year risk-free Treasury rate as of January 3, 2024, set at 3.95%. This rate was applied to determine the present value of the lease payments and record the right-of-use asset and lease liability as recorded on the balance sheet as detailed in Note 7.

 

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any leases that qualify for this election.

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

 

Net income/(loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for those services. There are five steps or qualifiers that determine the timing and amount of Revenue Recognition. Those five steps are:

 

1. Identifying the contract with a customer.

 

2. Identifying the performance obligation in the contract.

 

3. Determine the transaction price.

 

4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations.

 

5. Recognize the revenue when the entity satisfies the performance obligation.

 

The Company generates and recognizes revenue in three sales categories. Those being, Formal Contracts, Sales Agreements and Retail activities. For the retail activities, the revenue is recognized on a cash basis at the time of sale. For the other two categories, the customers are billed at the end of the month the services have been performed.

 

The formal contract and sales agreements stipulate the exact services to be performed and the rate the services are to be billed, as per steps 1, 2 and 3. The Company provides details of services provided with each billing invoice for customer review and approval. Any differences are resolved prior to payment, Step 4. The Company recognizes revenue in the month the services stipulated in the agreement have been provided, Step 5.

 

Ninety eight percent of revenues are billed monthly and recognized in the month the services were provided. Refunds and returns, which are minimal, are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company has not recorded a reserve for returns on December 31, 2024, or 2023 since it does not believe such returns will be material.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.

 

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
 

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
